SRJC Baseball Ranked No. 1 In Season's 1st State Poll

SONOMA COUNTY, CA — Santa Rosa Junior College Men’s Baseball has cemented its status as the top team in California, earning the No. 1 ranking in the first 2025 California Community College Sports Information Association CCCSIA State Baseball Top 25 poll.

The Bear Cubs, currently undefeated at 14-0, received 15 of 17 first-place votes, making it the only unbeaten team in the state.

The three-time state champions —1952, 2005, 2016— are off to a dominant start this season as they begin Big 8 Conference play with a three-game series against Modesto.

The team's early-season success highlights its championship pedigree, placing it in a strong position for another title run, SRJC's athletic director, Matt Markovich, said.
